The release of the first trailer for „Boy Kills World“ has surely caught the attention of many action fans. The film’s release date in Germany has been uncertain for a long time until now.
In early 2023, we titled it as „A bloody action-thriller that action fans around the world are looking forward to“. Since then, a lot has happened. After the world premiere last September, the first reviews promised „a spectacle that revels in chaos,“ and the trailer that was finally released confirmed that impression. Those lucky enough to get a ticket for the Fantasy Filmfest Nights 2024 had the opportunity to see the hype film a few weeks ago. Everyone else missed out – at least for now.
One year after its premiere, the official home release of the film produced by Sam Raimi, known for „Evil Dead“ and „Spider-Man“, is finally here. „Boy Kills World“ will be available on DVD and Blu-ray on September 26th!
Shortly after pre-orders were made available, the film quickly climbed into the top 100 of Amazon’s sales charts, further emphasizing that action fans have been eagerly awaiting this film. Is the wait worth it? We think so!
„Boy Kills World“ is a brutal action-packed film! The story revolves around a mute and deaf man, played by Bill Skarsgård („John Wick 4“, „IT 1+2“), who becomes the ultimate killing machine in a dystopian future, joining a rebellion against the ruling family of tyrant Hilda Van Der Koy, played by Famke Janssen („X-Men“ saga), to avenge his parents‘ death.
Directed by Moritz Mohr, a native of Frankfurt, „Boy Kills World“ has been described as a mix of „Deadpool,“ „John Wick,“ and „Kill Bill.“ Some even say it resembles „The Raid.“ The film features a voice-over by H. Jon Benjamin, known for „Bob’s Burgers“ and „Archer.“ Not only does the film spark „thick comedy sparks,“ as stated by critic Sidney Schering in the FILMSTARTS review, but it also involves plenty of blood, thanks in part to Yayan Ruhian from the „Raid“ films.
The heart of the film is the action, which leaves no prisoners behind. Dawid Szatarski, known for „Guns Akimbo,“ is responsible for the choreography, ramping up the violence and delivering intense bone-breaking action from the start, evolving into a full-fledged „combat splatter“ by the end. While Ryan Reynolds‘ Marvel antihero is considered a brutal contrast to the traditional MCU, „Boy Kills World“ takes it up a notch, surpassing the „Deadpool“ films in terms of intensity. It seems like „Deadpool & Wolverine“ have some competition! However, the highly anticipated Marvel blockbuster is expected to make headlines and outshine the world-destroying boy, especially at the box office.
In conclusion, „Boy Kills World“ is a must-watch for action fans seeking a thrilling and adrenaline-pumping experience filled with intense action sequences and a gripping storyline. Get ready to immerse yourself in a world of chaos and revenge as you witness the ultimate battle for justice unfold on screen.
